Cam is too small for the Thitek heads 6.1 intake is too small for the CI your pulling...."Can the potential of these motors be unlocked without an extremely tall intake? " yes/No , the best of the shorter intakes from what I've seen from my Uncles testing is the PREXFIX intake manifold....the Drag pak and Ritters intake are hard to beat for all out G3 Hemi. and Holleys HI Ram wth the LS 2x 4 top is PHUCKING AWESOME .
My 345 in my 04 Ram is running a highly hogged out Edelbrock I'm spinning that 345 well into the mid 7k RPMs it's gone 11.80s @ 120 weighing in at 4650lbs I'm also running a .640ish cam
I have a 370cid stroker in my little drag car . Best so far is 9.80s but I am 2100lbs lighter than your p/u. I am running a OCP dual plane with a 850 carb. Also have 13:1 compression and .605 cam.
I was thinking of getting the Prefix or short Ritter. Which do like better for a drag car?
